Say we have a population, with Ne = 100, containing two alleles, A1 and A2 at frequencies 0.6 and 0.4, respectively. We leave th

is population alone for 10000 generations (keeping its size constant), then come back to find that the allele frequencies are still 0.6 and 0.4.
a) Explain why this would be evidence that selection is acting in this population.


b) Which genotype would you expect to have the highest fitness in this case? Explain.

Answer:

a. It is found that even after 10000 generations, the allele frequency is still the same, that is, 0.6 and 0.4. This shows random mating population. None of the other factors like emigration, immigration, mutation, and others are operating. On the basis of Hardy-Weinberg law, if a population stays in random mating with no factors operating, in such situation, allele frequency will stay same from generation to generation. That is why in the given case, the allele frequency is still similar.  

b. In a random mating population, all the genotypes are identically fit. In such populations, the phenomenon of natural selection does not take place.

After the two avian kidneys do their work, a bird will excrete nitrogenous waste known as _____________ from the blood.
Ludmilka [50]

The avian kidneys are divided into units called lobules and as the two avian kidneys of birds do their work or function, most of these birds excrete nitrogenous waste known as uric acid from the blood, which reduces water loss but requires more metabolic energy to produce nitrogenous waste.

From your genetics lab, Agrobacterium tumefaciens gram-positive bacterium was used during your experiment on genetic manipulation of a corn plant

Rhizobiaceae is a family of bacteria that includes Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Gram-negative and aerobically growing, these bacteria don't produce endospores. The cells have one to six peritrichous flagella and are rod-shaped and motile. Cells can exist alone or in pairs and range in size from 0.6 to 1.0 m by 1.5 to 3.0 m.

Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a gram-negative bacterium that causes tumors in plants through horizontal gene transfer. In a variety of plant species, Agrobacterium tumefaciens has been widely exploited as the primary agent in the generation of transgenic plants. A soil phytopathogen called Agrobacterium tumefaciens naturally infects plant wound sites and causes the disease known as crown gall by the transfer of (T)-DNA.

Contraction of the muscle that is attached to the radial tuberosity results in
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Bending or flexion of the forearm and elbow

Explanation:

Radial tuberosity, alongside head and neck, is one of the important landmarks of the radius. It is a bony projection on the middle side of the radius where the tendons of the biceps branchii muscle insert itself.

In Anatomy, Radial tuberosity can be found at the center right of the left elbow and the upper left of the left forearm when the palm is facing upward.

The contraction of the biceps branchii muscle results in the flection or bending of the forearm and elbow
